increasingly impacted by the regulatory push to tighten up the
over-the-counter markets, said the top swaps trade body.

The International Swaps and Derivatives

of swap execution facilities rose last year to 52.4% of the
market from 19% in 2013 while 76.5% of interest rate swaps were
cleared versus 71.7% the previous year.
